A DESPICABLE RiNGSTER.

Character of the Recently Elected Sena-
tor from New Hampshire.
Probably no reasonable person will
deny that the people of the United States
turned the Republican party out of
power because of its corrupt afliliation
with corporate jobbers, and because
of the fact that many of its most con-
spicuous leaders were men of known
bad character. The transition from
Chase, Seward, Sumner, Stevens,
Wade, Wilson, Fenton and others to
Dorsey, Clayton, Chandler, Elkins,
Blaine and Malone was gradual but
marked. Under the tirst-named men
the party was not beaten. 1t was the
latter who led it to disaster. With
them at its head it will be easier to
beat it the next time than it was in
1884. and that they will be at its head,
re-enforced, perhaps, by some spoils-
men and disreputables who have not
hitherto come conspicuously to the front
fs, from present appearances, cer-
tainty. Wherever the party has un-
disputed sway it clings to it's discred-
ited and disgraced leaders The
resurrection OF the notorious Bill
Chandler in New Hampshire and his
election to the United States Senate
by the Republicans show that in that
section, MS in many others, the immor-
ality of the party is its most conspicu-
GUS feature.
William Il. Chandler is reprohatcd
not by Democrats alone, but by all
honest men who can see rascal be-
meath the guise of party. The body to
which he was elected rejected him six
years ago when he was appointed
Solictor-General, and more than one
honest man in that assembly publicly
stigmatized his nomination rs the most
shocking that President ever made.

PRECIOUS METALS.
How the United States Is Benefited by Iti
Gold and Silver Product.

Gold and Silver Product.
The gold and silver product of this
country last year was $S6,000,000, of
which $35, 600, 900 was in gold and $51,
OOO,O 900 in silver. This is a larger total
than was ever before produced in one
year. though gold production alone was
largest in 1858, when it amounted to
500, 100000. This was in the height of
the California gold excitement. Col
orado with $40, 900, 900 worth of precious
metals per year, and Montana with
S17,OOO,OOO. both lead California, whose
product last year was s16, 100000. These
enormous yearly outputs of the precious
metals enable this country to endure a
balance of trade against us without in
jury. In other words, we buy what we
consider more useful than gold, and
thus equalize the worlds supply of the
precious metals. Iti only thus that these
mines could continue to be profitable
to us. Spain some centuries ago tried
to hold monopoly of the precious
metals, which were mainly mined in
her American colonies. The result was,
the Spaniard became lazy and good for
nothing; his country grew to be the
dearest land to live in under the sun.
With plenty of money and nothing
else, there was no encouragement to
work. 1t was cheaper to buy any
thing than it was to produce it. Spain
suffered from glut of gold and silver
by precisely the same causes which this
country suffered from during our era
OF deprecated paper currency after the
war. Diffusing these large gold and
silver products through the civilized
world, they must produce increased
prosperity everywhere. Our advantage
in producing, then, will be mainly that
this fact gives us the first handling OF
the money, and with nations rs with
men those who have plenty of money
can do the most successful trading

The explanation is a simple one "heh
the duties were removed, American WOOL
growers went out of the business. the
gross amount of wool in the market de-
creased and the prices advanced. when
the duties were re-imposed. precisely the
contrary movement took place, wool be-
came abundant and prices declined. y
further very striking illustration of the
nature of this influence is supplied by
facts that lie right before our eyes. In
1884 there were 1000, 900 sheep in this
country. The tariff of 1888 is so defec-
tive i'm its wooden clauses, and 1t has had
such unfair Interpretation in the treasury
department, that wool and woolens have
poured in upon us from abroad in unpre-
cedented quantities, and prices have de-
clined. As result the number of Amer
lean sheep has also declined to 45,OoO,-
600. and unless the tariff be amended 1t
will decline further. These are facts
and they deserve the close attention OF
the American people at this juncture.

PIPES FROM OLD APPLETREES.
An Eastern Factory that Uses Up the
Orchard Butts and Stumps.

"Briar wood or apple" said the keeper
of tobacco store to a customer who
asked for a pipe. "The fact is that some
dealers sell briar or apple out of the same
box. But the briar is a little darker and
does not have quite as fine gloss as the
rich, red apple wood takes. Both come
from up the country, guess"
In travelling around Rockland county,
n. Y, one may run across a pipe factory
which supplies a large part of the city
trade. 1t is built at the headwaters of
the Pascack creek, where there is a never
failing water power. a little hamlet has
grown up around the pipe factory and is
called "Pipeville." If one passes the
place in the winter months he will see
cords on cords of appletree wood piled up
in the millyard where it has been brought
by the farmers round about. The country
is full of fruit trees and as orchards con-
tinually need thinning out or cutting
down when too old to bear, there is plenty
of material. The economic agriculturists
prefer to sell the wood at SO ton. solid
measurement, to working it up for fire
wood. OF course they must deliver it at
this price, and the factory wants only
the sound, good sized logs or branches.
Farmers and farmers sons know how
hard it is to split appletree wood. 1t cuts
easily however, being of a "cheesy''
quality. and these points make it desir-
able for pipes.
Two men first attack the logs in the
yard with a cross cut saw and divide
them into short pieces which are thrown
into the mill. Here they are divided
again into small bits and are seasoned.
Those without splits or other defects are
then selected and the work of making
the bowls begins. a long row of oper-
ators sit at bench before lathes. boring
machines, rasps and sand papering ap-
paratus, and the bits of appletree pass
rapidly from one to another as each does
his special work on it. When the bowl
is finished the stem of bone, wood or am
Der is deity inserted and fastened. the
bowls receive their final coat of varnish
and are packed in boxes.
Many thousand pipes are turned out
every season. Some are ingeniously
carved by experts, who make good wages
at the business. Animals. birds and hui
man faces are carved with great fidelity,
and one of these specimens will compare
favorably with meerschaum pipes for ar
tistic effect. This firm also manufactures
briarwood pipes, but has to bring that
wood some distance. The briar is a favor

shearing, went to sleep on the sitting

EFFECT OF MAKING WOOL FREE
From the National stoclsmon..


In the opinion of the Textile Record,
which strongly opposes any reduction in
the tariff, placing wool on the free list
would be quickly followed by marked
advance in the price of wool This is on
the ground that Disguised wool-growers
would destroy their flocks aud soon leave
the country under the necessity OF I'M
porting several times as much wool as
now, and paying dearly for the privilege
an advance which would materially
benefit foreign producers only, as they
would be the parties who would have he
bulk of the wool to sell. Our contem-
porary reasons about the matter IN TINS

only once since 1924 has raw wool vir-
